Practi Live: AI Stories Beyond the Hype (World AI Week 2026)

Step outside the conference and into real work. Join us at The Magnum Ice Cream Company’s Amsterdam HQ for an interactive evening of real AI stories, practical experience, peer conversations, and great ice cream.About Practi Live After several days surrounded by conversations about AI, Practi Live is a chance to get closer to what it looks like in practice. Three teams and one panel will take us behind the scenes of things they have built and tried: what worked, what didn’t, the unexpected breakthroughs, the messy edge cases, and the legal and ethical questions they had to navigate along the way. People sharing what they tried, what happened, and what they learned along the way. You’ll leave with practical ideas, new perspectives, and hopefully a few things you’ll want to try yourself. What to expect: Real Stories: Behind-the-scenes examples from people using and building with AI in their work. Hands-On Experience: Practical ideas, tools, and approaches you can adapt to your own work. Open Conversations: The wins, the things that didn’t go as planned, and the grey areas people are still figuring out. A Room of Peers:People across HR, Marketing, Ops, Leadership, and other functions exploring what AI means for their work. Magnum HQ Access: Hosted inside The Magnum Ice Cream Company’s Amsterdam headquarters and creative tasting lab. Great Ice Cream: Because we couldn’t host this at Magnum and not include that. We’re capping the event at 100 people to keep the room interactive, warm, and personal.
